       “ I was born in a thunderstorm, I grew up overnight.  I played alone,            I played on my own.  I survived. “

       Conversation about his family, about his childhood was generally not          well met, given the stance Kingsman had in regards to Rutherford          lending.  But he supposes the fact that it was brought up by Merlin          is what leads him to actually speaking about it in something close          to a pleasant tone.

    Fingers stopped moving when Merlin took his wrist, a mental kick of his own arse for the way his gesture was interpreted. He did not think he was an invalid, but he could not face away from the fact that this was his doing, and if he could lift some of his burdens, even one as small as knotting his tie, maybe he could stem the tide of guilt rotting him from the inside. It did not, but sometimes, for a few seconds, he was able to pretend. Eggsy finally understood the look in Harry’s eyes when his dad was mentioned in conversation, it was the same one in his.
